The saying goes that elections have consequences. As a result of the GOP’s historic gains, there is rumbling that 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney is getting nudged by close aids to consider another run for the presidency. 2008 GOP nominee John McCain recently admitted he’s thinking about running. Last year, McCain’s VP nominee Sarah Palin said she keeps open the option of possibly running.

However, there are many heavy hitters in the GOP field and fund raising will be a critical element of mounting a campaign against the well-funded Hillary Clinton. Other notable speakers at the event are former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who sought the GOP nomination in 2008, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who sought the nomination in 2012, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, noted for his strong pro-America stance at the UN, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Republican National Committee fundraiser Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, and Texas Senator and firebrand Ted Cruz.

The conventional wisdom is that she has no plans to announce a presidential run. If she were to announce one, she would carry clout given her status as a Tea Party darling. I want her too to help me with my assignment so I can get more from this presidential run.
